Grading guides for the peace dollar

Hi everyone
I now am into the peace dollar set i have just started. so far i have the 1928-P pcgs graded ms-62
i will be buying the keys in slabed but the rest of the set will be in raw.
as many know the peace dollar is very hard to grade to to the week strikes in those years, i am trying to find info on the grading of the peace dollar but have found it to be very subjective, i have look in the red book discription. and a copy of the ANA 11 point grading standers ,and both give a diffrind discription for gradng, i just ordered the book , Making the Grade. Grading Guide from Coin World.
Question
what and were do one find a consentant standerd for grading, ? book,site?


thank you
john

    PCGS Grading Standards, ANA Grading Standards, and Photograde are my favorite books...Photograde is the most beginner friendly IMHO

    The problem is finding CONSISTENT grading, because of the subjectivity involved....

    All of these books have different standards of grading, so you'll be able to come close, but you'll never be perfect image

    That is the reason why grading companies use, generally, 3 graders to form a consensus...

    Good luck with your Peace set
